Akasaka

Akasaka is a small yet cozy Japanese restaurant that offers fresh and delicious sushi and other Japanese dishes. The service is exceptional, with attentive and polite servers who even provide complimentary edamame. The restaurant's intimate atmosphere and traditional Japanese decor create a homely ambiance.

The sushi is the highlight, with the fish being of top quality and melting in your mouth. The large sashimi platter is a popular choice, though the presentation could be more consistent. Standout dishes include the Aji (Spanish mackerel) with its slight sweet and tangy flavor, the buttery Toro, and the unique scallop butteryaki with a nice crunchy batter. The tempura is also praised for its perfect crispiness.

While the Mirugai (a type of clam) was reported to be spoiled, the overall dining experience at Akasaka is highly positive. Reservations are recommended, as the small restaurant can quickly fill up, especially during peak hours.
